The Title to the Barracks Lot.

The report which the United States Dis
trict Attorney for this district has made
relative to the barracks lot will
require considerable work on the part of the
Attorney General to determine whether the
title is satisfactory to the government or
not. The District Attorney has reported all
the facts-his whole duty in the case-and it
now remains for the Attorney General to
say what more, if anything, is to be done.
The protest of Mayor Lester against the
sale of the property to the government will
doubtless he found to be the main obstruc-
ton to securing a satisfactory title. 1t
seems that Representative Norwood pro-
poses to ask authority from Congress to con-
denim Mayor Lester's interest in the prop
erty if his interest cannot be obtained in
any other way.
If it is proposed to condemn property why
not condemn site that would give general
satisfaction. There is great deal of opposi-
ton to the barracks site because it is SO far
away from the business part of the town,
and because it is believed that if that lot is
taken for public building it will be very
long while before hotel is built.
The stand taken by Mayor Lester with re-
spect to the sale of the barracks lot to the
government, is in the interest of the hotel
project. He knows that the government
can obtain another site, and one that will be
more satisfactory to the people. He knows
also that it would be about impossible to
obtain another site for hotel that would be
so generally approved as the barracks lot,
and that if that lot were sold it would be
| good while before an effort would be made
to find another site. The settlement of the
complications growing out of the desire of
the government and the hotel projectors for
the same site, will be waited for with con-
siderable interest

Two Southern Humorists at the Au-
thors Readings in New York.
Fyom the Mem York Thin,


Mr.. Richard Malcolm Johnston, whose Geor-
gian tales have become deservedly popular, was
received with curiosity and heard with evident
pleasure do not vouch for the truth of it. hut
have been told that Mr.. Johnston is morbidly
modest about these inimitable stories and that
it was with the greatest difficulty that his
friends finally induced him to give them to the
world. Even now it is said that he occasionally
becomes possessed with the notion that they are
mere trash and are making laughing stock of
him, and he insists on settling up with his pub
fishers and having them recalled as fast as pos
sible. The reception which an audience of such
culture as the one he faced recently gave him
ought to be enough to drive such notions out
of his head if he has them. 1.-THE Early Ma
iority of Mr.. Thomas Watts is the work of ex-
ceptional talent Its pictures are thoroughly
funny, and the remarkable thing about this as
about all his stories, is their delicate setting He
presents the most amusing scenes in language
that suggests the grace and beauty of Washing
ton Irving. He has the pleasing faculty of pre-
senting incidents familiar to every one who
looks back upon his own childhood in way
that is irresistibly comical Mr.. Johnston is a
strkngly handsome man, and a typical South
erner in appearance. He is tall and slender in
figure His hair is silver white, and a large
moustache of the same color adorns his face.
His long straight nose and slightly hollow
cheeks are peculiar in their shape to the Sunny
South
1t was a Southern author, too, who immedi-
ately succeeded Mr.. Johnston, and he also won
the admiration of the audience. Mr. Thomas
Nelson Page, of Virginia, is yet young man,
work. He read the Christmas scene in ''Unc'
Ednburgh's Drowndin'," and Mr.. Pages dialect
was, as it should have been from a native Vir-
ginian, simply perfect. There is as much differ
ence between the dialect of Houston street and
that of a Southern "Jimtown'' as there is be-
tween the lingo of a street brat and
that of Fifth avenue dude. To
that portion of his audience which has
never been south of Mason and Dix
on's line the perfect music of Mr. Pages dialect
was revelation. Northern people who derive
and character from minstrel shows and mu-
latto cooks do the colored race of the South
great injustice Their voices are mellower than
Moor's. Even in conversation it rises and
falls like the music of a chant, and they often
possess the nobleSt traits of character Mr.
Pages hero told his simple tale of devotion to
his dashing young master in strain that
touched every heart and yet he brought out
the amusing weakness of the negro with that
fidelity to nature which distinguishes the gen
uine artist He was warmly applauded as he
well deserved to be.
